A rock climbing guide covering the northern, eastern and southern crags of the borders of Cumbria, largely outside the National Park boundaries. It includes well known crags such as Armathwaite and Chapel Head Scar plus many others you may not have heard of, including a few where access is currently forbidden.
A major attraction of this area is that its climbs may often remain dry when those in the National Park are not, ideal venues to save a wet day or as evening crags for locals.
Excellent colour photodiagrams of virtually every crag will not only help in locating the climbs but are also a great source of inspiration. In addition there are sections on just about everything a climber might find useful in a guidebook, from a list of climbing walls for days when even these crags are dripping, to a comprehensive history and first ascents list to read in the cafe. Interspersed throughout is a superb collection of action photographs.
